Keith, my man, never underestimate the human heart.  Unfortunately, there 
are far too many stories of men killing wives, girlfriends, etc. over the 
issue.  Yes, they are monsters for thinking such thoughts, but Mr. Cruise's 
character is saved by a woman twice. Once at the party and once by his wife 
by calling at the right moment when he's picked up by a hooker. He's a 
decent guy who gets in over his head.
I admit to it being not Kubrick's best, but better than most.

Is it msyognist to show the nude female? I say it's beauty.
